Two things.

The purchase of seaweed potato chips from choi's is the most lovely umami. Also, does anyone else have an instant pot? I took frozen pork steam buns and threw them in this morning for some fun dim sum pre going to work!

Those things (seaweed potato chips from Choi's and instant pot) both sound good, but pardon my ignorance, what is an instant pot?

It's a smart pressure cooker. I had dim sum for breakfast yesterday. Cooked butter beans in half an hour, steamed corn in a minute....I know I sound nuts but it's the bees knees! And it doesn't heat the house up or use much energy!

I have an instant pot,,,I am hoping to actually use it soon! I admit that I am "cooking challenged". Several friends use theirs for most everything they cook, especially veggies & rice..

Love my Instant Pot!

I use it mostly for pot roast with carrots and potatoes. Also use it often for carnitas and pulled pork BBQ. It substitutes for oven braising very nicely for these.

We've cooked some various dried beans as well. Best feature is the program and forget part of it.

I keep thinking about converting some of my chili recipes to it, but I haven't messed with 'perfection' yet.


Here's the one I have.
